«Hamlet» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Austral in paperback (302 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in the castle of Elsinore, where Prince Hamlet, in an atmosphere of corruption and distrust, tries to uncover the truth about his father's death and responds with irony, reflection, and an ambiguous madness. Solemn scenes alternate with ironic reversals in a court full of pretense.
This edition includes the translation and editing by Ángel-Luis Pujante, with a reading guide by Clara Calvo, in the Austral 70 Years collection. Original work: Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, c. 1601.
For readers of classic literature and theater, and for students approaching Shakespeare for the first time.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
